VPP Aluminium
Lightweight clamp for low temperature applications
- Material: Recommended: Aluminium 5083 H111
- Diameter Range: 79 - 150 mm
Description
The VPP Aluminium is designed to maximize weight reduction and reduce cost for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Traditionally, e-compressor applications in FCEVs have used aluminum flanges due to the critical need for lightweight components. Our lightweight aluminium VPP clamp is specifically designed for sealing these aluminium flanges, minimizing the risk of mixed metal corrosion. This innovative clamp is also perfectly suited for fastening aluminium connections and various low-temperature V flange applications.
